Blog 18: 2-Hour Meeting Answer #3

1. How can a licensed therapist best serve an abused individual?

2. A licensed therapist can best serve an abused individual by introducing them to join in open or closed group therapy sessions along with the private sessions with you.

3. This would be beneficial to your client because it would allow them to be around other people with similar feelings & situations. By being around others who share the same emotions & hardships, it helps your client feel more understood & it will help your client move forward from their problems. It would allow your client to see that they can reach out to others for support while going to you for guidance & further assistance.

4. This answer is derived from my mentorship at the Pomona Community Crisis Center under Kele Stahl. At this center, most clients participate in these group therapies in addition to private counseling. & Through my observations & advice from my mentor, I was able to find that it was easier on the client's load to have various degrees of support.

5. I plan on researching about the benefits & different kinds of group therapies to further help my justification for my answer.
